Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The Web Services team (the developers and maintainers of the CUIMC Distribution) is available to provide support for all CUIMC Distribution sites. You can check the User Guides to see if instructions are available. Otherwise, please fill out our form with any/all questions.

Accessibility is built into the CUIMC Distribution! This means that most of "heavy lifting" has been taken care of in regards to the overall accessibility of any standard CUIMC Distribution website.

However, as content creators on your site, there are additional actions you can take to ensure that your content is accessible as possible to people with disabilities. See the guidelines for Accessibility to learn more.

No, not unless you are using one of our built-in widget types. (See below for a list.) Content and widgets generated by third-party services may cause security, accessibility, and maintenance problems if embedded directly. Embedding a widget that has not been properly tested with the CUIMC Distribution could have any of the following issues:

The widget could display improperly (especially if it loads an application/product that requires some kind of authentication)

The widget could be using insecure code that will pose security risks for your site visitors

The widget could load functionality that is not accessible to people with disabilities

In order to prevent these issues, tags used to embed external content, including but not limited to iframe tags, object and embed tags, and script tags, are stripped from your page content when saving.

Several of our widget options allow for embedding of outside content, such as :

Google Custom Maps

Google Business Hours

Youtube Videos

Flowpaper PDFs (coming soon!)

If the information you need to display is from an external site or application and is not included in the above list, you can simply link to it instead of embedding it on your site.
